I suffer from arthritis in my hands.
- I first observed the symptoms many years ago; The concerns were really mild, causing a slight stiffness in my fingers; However, I recently experienced a flare up that was both painful and worrisome, then my fingers significantly and suddenly swelled so badly that I needed to split my rings off.
I had difficulty making a fist or even gripping objects. I struggled to comb my hair, brush my teeth, tie my shoes or even button my shirts. Typing on a keyboard was painful and difficult. This created a major problem because my entire job is handled by way of my PC. I normally spend eight hours a afternoon typing. I needed to find an effective remedy, and when I researched, I wasn’t cheerful with the many harmful side-effects friendd with synthetic medicines, a little more learning led me to cannabis. There are nearly endless success stories from patients who have turned to plant-based remedies. I also learned that a recreational cannabis dispensary is located less than a fifteen minute drive from my household in Denver. They are open every afternoon and offer online ordering, curbside pickup and delivery, and shopping is severely convenient. The dispensary carries every imaginable consumption method and the budtenders are appealingly informed about their products. I have found that a combination of tinctures and topicals effectively treats my arthritis symptoms. I choose strains that have a higher CBD to THC ratio and target the pain and inflammation from both the inside and the outside… Cannabis-infused ointments can be applied directly to my joints many times per afternoon.
